I like African black soap. It has helped calm my skin down in the past. I wouldn't count on it to solve everything on its own but if it helps reduce irritation and inflammation, more power to it! I u...

leelowe said it all. It sounds like you've done everything under the sun to topically treat your acne but acne starts from within. Accutane puts you into temporary remission but like other chemotherap...

Hmmm... how long have you been using Epiduo? Were you clear for a while? Have you changed anything else in your lifestyle/regimen? You could bump up to a higher concentration of BP.

  I've been on yaz for a month and while my skin isn't perfect I haven't had a cyst since I started taking it and am mostly concerned about my lingering red marks. I am also using topicals (see...

Be careful about self-medicating, although I won't tell you not to do it. So what you have aren't really scars, it's post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Retin-A is definitely a good option for you. ...

It comes and goes. I was acne free for 2 weeks, but now I have some on my forehead and mouth, lip area. Is there a better cleanser than the one I'm using. Well, probably. I use Panoxyl Creamy Wash ...

Cats are filthy creatures. We love them, but they have all kinds of bacteria on their claws. 2 months later is way too long for a wound to still be healing - it sounds like you may have an infection. ...

I get those too! Particularly on my chin. Annoying. They usually hurt though.

Ahh, if only it was that simple! What, pray tell, is a pimpleologist? Haha, I wouldn't go near Dove soap with a ten foot pole attached to my face.

Stop using the makeup, as you have done, drink lots of water, try to cut back on sugary foods and use an over the counter wash containing a low concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide to clear the existing ...

You can develop a sensitivity to dairy. Do you experience any other symptoms when you eat dairy - stomach discomfort, fatigue? It's simple enough to do an elimination diet to figure out if avoiding d...

Also, test for endometriosis.

Look at your parents' faces. That may tell you if this is just the way your face is, or if you've just got baby fat that will eventually go away. Most people's faces get more angular as they grow up. ...

What the above poster said. You want a monophasic pill. Good luck!

diannette is what they use for chemical castration in sex offenders? scary shit right there. I definitely feel like Yaz has an effect on my sex drive too, but on the flip side I feel better about my...

Paige isn't saying anything about sugar and dairy. She's saying that you are eating something in your holistic diet that you're sensitive to.

Yes, that will definitely help with cell turnover. But are you still having a lot of active acne?

your skin looks really irritated from the constant exfoliating and SA applications. I would scale back immensely and use a good moisturizer.

Have you been tested for PCOS specifically? Your symptoms all sound like you may have it. Sometimes it doesn't show up on blood work for some reason. I'm not an expert on this but I would see a gyneco...

Yes, you're right - BP in the morning, differin at night. =) Good luck!

Hi and welcome! Yes, red marks (hyperpigmentation) left from acne do fade with time. Topical treatments like dermatologist-prescribed retinoids can help speed the process. IF you still have active a...
